A key stage in the judging process for the Gloucestershire Business Awards 2025, it's almost time for shortlisted businesses to meet the judges.
SoGlos is hosting an exclusive networking event at the home of Gloucester Rugby this September 2025, giving shortlisted businesses an unmissable opportunity to meet the judging panel in person and make their case, sharing why they deserve to win a coveted trophy in this year's awards.
Taking the form of an informal, after-work networking event, guests have the chance to work the room, chat to the judges and meet representatives from fellow shortlisted businesses.
The conversations taking place at this event could be what seals the deal for the judges and secures their business a ticket to the awards in November.
In previous years, shortlisted businesses have brought along sample products to demonstrate for the judges – including sausage rolls! – so there's a real chance to make an impression.
As well as chatting on the night, judges may also request follow-up phone calls, meetings or site visits as part of the judging process, before the final Judges Panel Meeting in October, where the finalists will be decided.
The Gloucestershire Business Awards 2025 are proudly supported by headline partners Hazlewoods and Willans LLP solicitors, as well as a host of high-calibre category partners.
Meet the Judges at Kingsholm Stadium gets underway from 5.30pm on Tuesday 9 September 2025.
